About Modellers Workbench:
Run by me - Scott. Aimed primarily at plastic scale modelling, but I also do model with other materials. I do have a bit of a passion for Large Scale Planes in 1/32 but I also model Armour and Vehicles and well whatever else I feel like. I am also in the process of building an n scale model railroad layout so I enjoy modelling scenery and dioramas.
Expect to see Tamiya, Airfix, Trumpeter, Academy, HobbyBoss Walters and other scale plastic model kits. Build videos along with some tips and tricks I have picked up.
I have been modelling on and off for decades now, but got back into it seriously during lockdown.
Be patient with my editing and youTube skills - I am a learner :)
If you have any comments or questions I would love to hear from you!

Engine looks great!
Thank you very much!
Have you seen the canopy frame and engine detailing from Anyz. The canopy frame parts are superb.
I hadn't but just looked it up. They have some amazing parts and the prices look good. I will definitely be giving them a try. Thank you!
I have one of these to build for my channel. The only drawback I have with the kit is it's too good. There is little opportunity to scratch build or improve anything. On face value it's near on perfect out of the box.
That is a really good point. I also tend to be a bit more daring with cheaper kits. I hate to admit I have a few Tamiya 1/32 kits sitting in my stash, some for years now because I am always reluctant to even start them when they get "too good".
@@Modellers-Workbench I'm just going to build this one in between another kit ( Starfighter) that has more potential
@RichardsModellingAdventures it’s a great kit which definitely looks better assembled than a bunch of grey plastic sprues in an admittedly very nice box!
Tamiya always makes a good quality kit, Trumpeter & Dragon just aren't in the same league quality wise.....
Totally agree. No fit issues and generally amazingly engineered and no problems, follow the instructions and you will get something nice at the end. I think the real issue is that for example the Tamiya F4 1/32 is roughly $200AUD but the Trumpeter is $100AUD. So is it twice as good?
what do you think it compared to the trumpeter 1/32 Corsair kit ? i am going to buy trumpeter which is the half price of tamiya
I was just filming the final part and dragged down my Trumpeter F4U-4 to talk about the differences in the final vid. Will try and get that up in the next few days. The Tamiya Kit is very well done but is 2x the price of the Trumpeter. I think the Tamiya overall has better fit and finish but is not really configurable at all. The comparison I could give is when you go to a fancy restaurant and the Steak is $100 and great and then a week later you go to the pub and buy a Steak for $20 which is almost as good or the same and think ...hang on...so in short I would lean towards the Trumpeter, even if you buy aftermarket figures and instrument panel and you are still way ahead with $.
